Christ is now risen again
Christ is now risen again
from his death and all his pain;
therefore will we merry be,
and rejoice with him gladly,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Since he is risen indeed
let us love him with all speed;
therefore glad now will we be,
and rejoice in him only.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
